A Better Teen Second Life
August 11th, 2010
Teen Second Life is a virtual place created by Linden Lab where teens can gather to socialize, play, learn, and create the world around them. Teens create a customizable digital representation of themselves which is called an Avatar.
More than just a videogame or an internet chat room, Teen SL is a safe place for teens to make new friends and go on adventures all while learning valuable skills in working together, and also use their imagination to shape the world around them.
Teen Second Life is different from the adult version of Second Life since only teens ages 13-17 are allowed to enter. There are of course a few exceptions. Linden Lab’s staff, Linden Liaisons, is always present to make sure that Teen Second Life remains a safe and friendly place to be and everyone there is who they say they are. Sometimes teachers are also brought in for educational purposes; residents are always notified who they are and what projects they are working on.
Teen SL is an amazing place for young people to meet and get to know each other. Another place hang out is a Second Life forum which is also a place to gather, socialize, and learn. A forum is also filled with many resources that has been created by none other than residents who have mastered the game to help you advance:
- Tutorials – Simplify even the most difficult task
- Secrets – Discover things that only a privileged few know
- Second Life Guides – Provide step-by-step directions
- SL Scripts – Build virtually anything
